PL Waterlogged a3

pl_waterlogged - Pretty much pl_cornered_a2

The legacy of pl_cornered. I took everyone's feedback to heart, and pretty much redid the whole thing. The only things that stayed the same are the blue base, and part of A's major flank. Despite being the second version of the map, I'm still calling this an a1 because of the new name, and how different it is.

Not actually a2a, just a2. That's just because of some nonsense on my end. My first time packing custom content (frontline!) so it might not work...

Whole lotta changes made to stage two in this one, such as a fairer flank for 2A and a stronger choke on 2B. Overall, I've made it harder for Blu. Stage one had only one major change, which was at point A. I hope it will convince red to defend the point room, and not spawncamp. Also, I'm 99% sure I packed the frontline stuff correctly this time!

Needs one more stage in between

I've thought about it, but I don't want to give myself too much to work on, as I haven't finished a single map yet. Also, adding another stage would throw off my "pacing" for the detailing and facade. Maybe, *sniff*, maybe.

Water texture is cheap and too cloudy

I used that texture on purpose, because the detailing is meant to have the pools as pits not meant to be filled with water, so they end up muddy. The opacity also makes it a better flank than clearer textures like water_well.

I am awful at lighting so thanks for pointing this out!

The first blu respawn at first comes across as only having one exit

I'm probably going to redo the whole thing, and make it more like some of the thunder mountain blue spawns.
